Max Carver is a boy of fourteen years in wartime. His father, a watchmaker by trade, decided to move the family to a mansion near the beach in a small town, despite the lack of enthusiasm for his wife and children to change. The house recently occupied a strange accident occurs that forces parents to leave older siblings alone in the house. Max and his sister are quick to make friends with young people who will teach in the area and introduce them in the art of diving in a mysterious ship, which sank in the Bay years ago. "Prince of the Mist" was the first book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, thanks to winning a prize young adult novel. I've seen comments about "The Angel's Game" in claiming that the latter book had in common with the early works of Ruiz Zafon. I have found that they lacked a point.
is a readable book with a mystery plot unfolds slowly and with some horror story dyes. The protagonist is an intrepid young man who may soon identify a child or young reader, while his intriguing new friend appears as an ideal older boy, free for your own actions, but with a sad and dark past.
multiple scenes are told of grim supernatural, sometimes traversing the line between misterior and pure terror.
The story is told in a very cinematic at the beginning reflects the situation in an isolated mansion on an isolated village and gradually the pace of events is accelerating, to a rousing finale. Would not surprise me that one day end up doing a movie based on the book.
My Rating: good.
